Tonya is a graduate of Hernando High School in Brooksville, Florida, where she participated in gymnastics and karate. She was a valued softball player a pitcher and left fielder who took the team to the World Series. After moving to Panama City Beach, Florida, she wanted to assume the culture and learned to skate board and eventually Surfing became her love. (And she is great at it!) Panama City being a very seasonal town, Tonya worked at the well renowned Pineapple Willies Restaurant for six years as a server and a valued and respected employee. Her most important job, however is as a mother. She so needs and wants this to return to her home and continue to raise her beautiful son, Mason. Tonya is a single mother and is determined to work her hardest to improve to her fullest to be able to be the best Mother she can be. Please help us give her that chance.
The cost to the family is insurmountable including home modifications, a modified vehicle and nursing care. Tonya wishes to continue intense physical therapy and there is none in our local area. She is now in Jacksonville at Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital and insurance has given notice of her pending release. Tonya has been asked to stay on as an advocate and may use their outpatient facilities daily. She will need funding for housing and care while there.
To help with the financial burden of Tonya’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Southeast Spinal Cord Injury Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for illness-related expenses only.

Thank you for your support and commitment to Tonya’s recovery.
Gratefully,
Karen McDaniel, Tonya’s friend

Please note the newly added picture of Tonys standing.. we still need your help to get her the RT 300 Stimulus Bike!
Tonya has been experiencing increased response to sensory.... motor to follow...,she desperately needs the Stimulus Bike to not only aid that along but to improve spasms. There is no PT facility that even has one near us. We need your help to purchase a refurbished one.. thank you
A plea goes out, Please help us obtain the Stimulus Bike, Tonya so desperately needs.
Tonya is home. They did not extend her rehab as we all wished. She is home in Panama City Beach..... Where we have no PT for spinal cord injury..... She needs a stimulus bike, ( not only does this reduce spasms but she is able to pedal over the set speed... Very encouraging!, she needs a table mat and wedges..... We have got to go to work.... And she will do it with all her might.... Please contribute... So through HelpHOPELive these things can be purchased.....

I know you're after that RT300, but check out the MyoCycle. Easier to use and more affordable, and it was invented by a guy from Panama City.
